Interesting question.

People seem to keep old cameras forever, such that most now are not especially valuable.

Old toys tend to get thrown away, so old ones are rare and valuable.

I am not so sure yet about old radios, but I suspect they weren't kept as often as cameras.

But I will guess that applause cards were more like toys than cameras.

Not that you won't find them, but they will be rare, and maybe expensive.

Here's a 1924 card on ebay. I guess it qualifies as one. At least the
seller does.
